FREEMAN-PASK GRABS WORLD CUP GOLD [Sporting Life - 25 mins ago]

Reflecting on his change in fortunes, Strauss said: "It's nice to feel back in form and as a captain it's great to contribute and lead from the front. "I suppose to a degree it's confidence but it's a strange game - sometimes batting feels difficult and at other times, with a few runs under your belt, it's easier. "I'm just delighted to be in a bit of form and very determined to make the most of it, not just tomorrow but over the rest of the series as well. "You can never look too far ahead but I'm just going to try and focus on getting myself back in in the morning. That's a big enough challenge for me." The challenge Strauss was referring to relates to a curious record when resuming unbeaten on a hundred at the start of play."
